What is the ruling on the intention to listen to a song that contains allusive words, along with singing, without the intention of repeating the words, knowing that one is afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard?

A metaphor for divorce is any wording that indicates separation but is not explicit in it. Divorce by metaphor does not occur unless the husband intends for it to occur. What is not a word is not a metaphor for divorce. Therefore, divorce does not occur by what the wife uttered without the intention of divorce, nor by what she heard in a song containing a metaphor for divorce, because listening is not uttering.
It is advised to alleviate obsessive thoughts and turn away from them.
